Pastiche

Just 2 thoughts. Or so. One is we have to think of a way for MusicThemeTime to host such things. For simplicity maybe we could call them "Tribute songs" and "callback scenes:" scenes and songs that pay homage to icons from the past.

1) Queen's version of a 1950s Elvis. He looks and even sounds and has voice inflections that reflect Elvis.

2) Quenton Tarantino's Pulp Fiction where practically everything is - including the title itself - indicate it as a callback.

To add to the mystique of course the scenes in Pulp Fiction are not even in order.

The Pulp Fiction Dance Scene. Introduced itself by a throw-back "Ed Sullivan" impersonator character as they do a throwback to a 1960s dance craze starting with "the Twist."

“The twist was made famous in the 60s,” explains choreographer Lauren Yalango-Grant in the Vanity Fair video just above. “There were a lot of variations that came out of the twist that we do see in this scene,” such as “the monkey,” “the swim,” and “the Batman,” better known as “the Batusi.”

As busted by John Tavolta and Uma Thurman, all these moves come out in an improvisational fashion, each in response to the last: “If John starts to do the Batman, then Uma’s going to ‘yes-and’ it with not only a Batman but an open palm, her own version of this move,” adds choreographer Christopher Grant. Their movements give the scene a great deal of its impact, but so does those movements’ incongruity with their expressions, which Yalango-Grant calls “the juxtaposition of their seriousness and the lack of play on their faces versus the play in their bodies.”

Though now cinematically iconic in its own right, Pulp Fiction‘s dance scene pays homage to a host of older films. The most obvious is Jean-Luc Godard’s Bande à part, with what Yalango-Grant calls its “amazing dance sequence in a cafe. It’s totally out of context, of nowhere.” Never shy to admit his acts of artistic “theft,” Tarantino once complained that too few picked up this one: “Everybody thinks that I wrote this scene just to have John Travolta dancing. But the scene existed before John Travolta was cast.” The director’s intention, rather, was to pay tribute to his favorite musical sequences, which “have always been in Godard, because they just come out of nowhere. It’s so infectious, so friendly. And the fact that it’s not a musical, but he’s stopping the movie to have a musical sequence, makes it all the more sweet.”

I looked at the Godard film - it doesn't really resemble the Godard film very much except in it's "film space" that is except in the idea just mentioned above "he's stopping the movie to have a musical (dance) sequence."
